From 9458e0a78c45bc6537ce11eb9f03489eab92f9c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2022 18:41:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] flex_proportions: Disable preemption entering the write section. The seqcount fprop_global::sequence is not associated with a lock. The write section (fprop_new_period()) is invoked from a timer and since the softirq is preemptible on PREEMPT_RT it is possible to preempt the write section which is not desited. Disable preemption around the write section on PREEMPT_RT.
